BFBS Colchester

Forces Radio BFBS exists to connect the British Forces community. That's all three services: Royal Navy, British Army and Royal Air Force. We operate in more than 20 countries around the world.

We're here for everyone with a connection to the British Forces, whether they're serving, relatives, friends or just supporters of the work done by the men and women who take the Queen's shilling and deploy to carry out the requirements of the British government. We're proud of what we do - and we're proud of what our audience does.

We have local stations, broadcasting a mix of local and BFBS UK-generated programmes on FM transmitters, in countries as diverse as Belize, Cyprus, Germany, the Falklands and Northern Ireland. BFBS Afghanistan is on air daily in Camp Bastion and we even operate a service exclusively for the Brigade of Gurkhas, with stations in Kathmandu, Brunei and Shorncliffe in Kent.
